I waited ten days past premier date to watch this so so my take isn’t particularly fresh. I think what Kayla is missing from her reviews is that Dani’s struggle (to my eyes anyway - and God Help Me, I may be projecting) is one of mental illness. Owen’s Mother and Owen’s monologue about transcendence in the face of…

You have done nothing but bitch in every single review of this show that has been posted. Not critique mind you, just mindlessly bitch and whine.

WHY ARE YOU HERE. Ffs.

There’s plenty of happy-ending gay and lesbian romances nowadays (heck, I can even name some from the ‘90s - The Wedding Banquet? But I’m a Cheerleader? Beautiful Thing?). Even Kenya gave us a gay love story with a happy ending a couple years ago, which was especially impressive given being gay is still illegal…

There’s a nod to Castle in Hill House already and I doubt they’d do Jackson again. But there are other haunted house stories to work with, I think. Maybe Poe? The Fall of the House of Usher?

Peter Quint and Miss Jessel are 100% ghosts in James's The Turn of the Screw. The book is a ghost story about the children's loss of innocence.

Did not realize at the end of last ep that Viola was dragging Dani into the house rather than the lake.

Name a straight couple in that series that got a happy ending.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but all love ends in tragedy

Yeah I’d probably give it a B - most of it was good and I still loved this take on a ghost standing in for depression. I liked that the Lady of the Lake was tamed by Dani’s sacrifice and the line “and Dani would *never*”. The part about the people at the wedding all actually being in the story was kind of weird - even…

I’ll be honest, I have real no idea where this interpretation comes from, although I will also soon reveal myself a hypocrite.

I think Rebecca did this as a mercy to Flora. She remembers what it was like to die in the lake because Peter left her body when it happened. But here Rebecca’s saying she’ll tuck Flora away and feel it for her so the kid doesn’t have to experience her own death.

A moving finale. Love the naked emotionalism and heart Flanagan brings to horror.

A thing of note: after Dani took on Viola into herself, one of her blue eyes turned brown. An unmentioned detail throughout the episode, just a depiction of Viola inhabiting her body.

this was my favorite ep of the season and probably the second best ep of the hauntings. 

I just learned that Greg Sestero is the actor playing Flora’s fiancé. Another missed opportunity to cast Tommy Wiseau as a faceless ghost. "Oh Hai Dani!" 

the bulk of this finale, pretty much everything after the first 15 minutes, was wonderful to me. I guess that’s not really a surprise, I’ve been super invested in Dani and Jamie from the start, but it basically all worked (and that scene when Jamie comes home and finds Dani with her face centimetres away from the…

Theres a line at the end, where older Jamie talks about remembering people through the tiniest things, sometimes sad sometimes happy, that kinda broke me.  Its about the most relatable statement about loss I've heard in quite sometime.  I gonna heavily disagree, I feel they nailed the ending far better then Hill…

Few quick notes on the finale:

Honestly, that sounds pretty insane, when the best part of a game for someone is making a character dying again and again and again, instead of trying to understand what the writers wanted to tell you.

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!
